MARKHAM, Ont. - Police have charged a 26-year-old Toronto man in an alleged hit-and-run north of the city that left a pedestrian dead.

Investigators with York Regional Police say a 72-year-old man was fatally struck by a light-coloured Volvo while crossing the street on Kennedy Road near Denison Street in Markham on Saturday night, prompting a police search for the car.

They say a suspect turned himself in last night at a police station in nearby Richmond Hill.
